{"product_id":"rosensfole","title":"Rosensfole","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis 1988 recording may be Garbarek's most extended foray into the early music of his native Norway, crafting spacious settings for the voice of Agnes Buen Garnas, a Norwegian traditional singer who brings a rich drama to these songs based on medieval origins. Her voice is a stunning instrument, possessed of a thrilling vibrato and a subtle sense of pitch that are only enhanced by the electronic climate of the recording. Though there are traces of his usual reeds, Garbarek uses synthesizers and a host of percussion overdubs to create a virtual orchestra with wind, string, and harmonium textures. It doesn't sound like mere mimicry of medieval music, but a heightened setting for the drama of Garnas's voice, from the undercurrent of soprano saxophone on \"Signe Lita\" to the anvil-like percussion of \"Lillebroer.\" The 16-minute \"Marjit\" possesses both epic grandeur and hypnotic power with its pulsing, tablalike drumming, deep drones, and endlessly repeating melody. While it's a kind of precursor to Garbarek's later project with the Hilliard Ensemble, Rosenfole has a distinctive beauty all its own, and a stunning presence in Garnas's voice. --Stuart Broomer\n\nProduct description\n\nCD: Agnes Buen Garnas \u0026amp; Jan Garbarek,Rosensfole\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000025ZO1\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000025ZO1.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Agnes Buen Garnas\/Jan Garbarek\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
